I read the observations like once every 3 or 4 weeks... And when I do, I love it... any advice on moving abroad, passport advice, banking advice, etc... ? I’m moving to Thailand in late 2026, my USA passport expires in March 2028... should I renew it BEFORE I move there in late 2026? Ok... football wise, when betting on football, do you ever get the feeling that the ending/outcome is mostly scripted or encouraged? Why do on field refs wear an earpiece?... So SOME UNKNOWN person can help INFLUENCE this refs decision? I’m not saying the EXACT SCORE, but a narrative to keep the game interesting... within a certain SPREAD... I’ve just SEEN and observed too much stuff over the last 40 years to believe that Vegas just always gets it precisely PERFECT! Nah... I’m crazy, nobody EVER CHEATS!

You can renew your passport at the embassy in Thailand, but that's a long way away! I've had my suspicions here and there -- it actually happened in the NBA -- but very hard to know if specifically it's the case in a given game.

Irony - I have done the impossible and made it all the way to week 14 in a survivor contest, and i even still have a few good teams left including buffalo. I might just make it to week 18. It started with 1300+ participants and theres only 29 left to split the huge massive pot of.....1 BTC. When the season started 1 BTC was $58,000 and seemed like a worthy prize. And now if we split it ten ways i would barely get enough to pay off my bookie. LOL.

haha -- I thought about doing a pool for a BTC too, so you're betting on your team an the price appreciation simultaneously, but that is hilarious. HODL if you win though!
